What would be involved in fitting an S60R engine to a C70 coupe?

GazT4R and Pyaap (Gary and Ashok) have swapped 2.5 R engines for the 2.4 so may be worth asking how they got on. Their cars are R's though so probably not quite the same degree of change involved as you plan. They both make more power out of the 2.4 than the 2.5 for the reasons outlined. I would talk to a software supplier before committing to a motor that isn't compatible with your ecu. MTE have developed a custom map for the Stock 2.4 engine (FMIC, Aquamist and DP/Exhaust) that Ashok dyno'd at 350+bhp back in the summer. The 2.5 engines are a weak link in the Volvo line up and fail in their Ford cousins too. It is misleading to point fingers of blame at any of the tuners who supply software for the late model R engines as the liner failures happen to owners of vehicles with stock maps.

I have found a beautiful C70 - fully speced coupe I found on the trader - 52 plate with only 58K on the clock - GT spec. Great starting point for tuning?? ME7 engine.

Cheers for the link Dave, spotted that one recently, bit rich price wise certainly trying to command a premium for the low miles, but hey who wouldnt!

Got an Omega im going to get shot of first then going to have a look about, just spent more than that cars up at on bits for the Monaro hence would like something else to play about with to stop the spending on that.
